Got a 253 in mine but I didn''t fit it,,, sorry
... but 253's, 308's. 350's all fit but brakes have to be disc's on the front and the sub frame has to be strenthend ect. ect.. ect.. ect.. ect.
But don't give up, coz Ek's go great with a V8!!!!!!
But if i was getting it rebuilt, castlemain rod shop would be phone call #1

It's on the road (
once every few sunday mornings
),,,
but still no rego ,,,
so bit sad that I won't get to take it to the AHD on Sunday, Cooling & backfires are still a bit of a worry but during all this heat havn't been game to take it out and havn't much time to tinker down in the garage.
But doing one thing a time seems to be getting more done on the ol'beast.
,,,which reminds me?? I still have a hole in one of the custom made extractors.
I don't think a standard manifold would even fit once the rack and the V8 is in....
